Nighttime for many new parents in the United States is fraught with
the intense challenges of learning to breastfeed and helping their
babies sleep so they can get rest themselves. Through careful
ethnographic study of the dilemmas raised by nighttime
breastfeeding, and their examination in the context of
anthropological, historical, and feminist studies, this volume
unravels the cultural tensions that underlie these difficulties. As
parents negotiate these dilemmas, they not only confront
conflicting medical guidelines about breastfeeding and solitary
infant sleep, but also larger questions about cultural and moral
expectations for children and parents, and their relationship with
one another.
